In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it’s a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence. (260 words)
选项
5、From the passage we can safely infer that __________.
A. it’s a matter of life or death if you call someone in day time
B. the meaning of time differs in different parts of the world
C. it makes no difference in the U.S. whether you are early or late for a business party
D. if a person is late for a date, he needn’t make some explanation
答案
B
解析
这是一道推断题。询问通过本文可以得出什么结论。运用排除法做这道题目较为合适。选项A表述“如果你在白天因某事给某人打电话意味着这件事事关生死。”,这与文章内容相悖,故排除。选项C表述“你在美国参加商务活动时间或早或晚没有什么区别。”,这与文章内容相悖,故排除。选项C表述“如果一个人约会时迟到了没有必要向对方解释。”,这与文章内容相悖,故排除。选项B表述“世界各地的人们对待时间的观念是不同的。”,这与文章内容相同,因此答案选择B。
